Armenia host Latvia in the first round of Nations League C2 on September 25 at Vazgen Sarsyan Republican Stadium. The home team enter the campaign without a victory in its last seven matches.

Armenia Look to Revive Form After Seven Games Without a Win

Armenia have not won a single match since September 9, 2025, when they defeated Ireland 2-1. Since then, they have recorded five defeats and two draws. More broadly, their win against Ireland is their only victory in the last 13 matches.

Eduard Spertsyan remains their key attacking player with 12 goals in 42 international matches. Kamo Hovhannisyan, the first-choice wing-back and captain, misses this match through injury. There is no natural replacement for him in that position, which is why coach Yeghishe Melikyan is expected to switch to a 4-2-3-1 instead of the initial wing-back system.

On 23 September, it was also reported that centre-back Sergey Muradyan had suffered an injury, further weakening Armenia's defence.

Armenia predicted lineup vs Latvia (4-2-3-1): Čančarević; Piloyan, Bueno, Harutyunyan, Tiknizyan; Iwu, Spertsyan; Serobyan, Sevikyan, Shaghoyan; Miranyan.

Latvia Travel to Armenia without 7 Players

Latvia are also dealing with injuries. Among the seven missing are attacking midfielder Jānis Ikaunieks and centre-back Kristers Tobers. Winger Eduards Daškevičs has recently returned from injury and joined the camp, although it remains to be seen how much he can contribute.

Latvia have recorded two wins and three losses in their last five matches, with one of those defeats coming in extra time against Lithuania. Those two victories are also their only wins in the last 13 matches, during which they have recorded two wins, four draws and seven defeats.

Key Stats

  • Armenia haven’t scored more than one goal in their last seven games.
  • Only one of Armenia’s last eight games exceeded 3.5 total goals.
  • Latvia have scored exactly one goal in four of their last five matches.

The only game where more than 3.5 goals occurred was on November 16 against Portugal, when Armenia lost 9-1.

Latvia have also produced consistently low-scoring matches, with their last six games all staying below four total goals. They have scored exactly once in four of their last five fixtures, while Armenia have failed to score more than once in seven consecutive matches.

Armenia's defensive absences add uncertainty without necessarily pointing towards a high-scoring game. A 1-1 draw therefore fits both teams' recent scoring patterns and keeps the total below 3.5 goals.

Latvia have drawn four of their last eight matches, a run stretching from the Serbia game to their win over Andorra. Combined with Armenia's lack of attacking output, that points to a draw.

The final scores of Armenia’s previous two games are 1-1 against Moldova and 1-1 against Kazakhstan. Latvia were level with Lithuania after 90 minutes on 6 June before losing in extra time, then lost 1-0 to the Faroe Islands on 9 June.

Verdict: Under 3.5 goals (1.30) — Armenia 1-1 Latvia.
